Maillard reaction products (MRPs) were produced from aqueous solution of various sugars with hydrolyzed wheat gluten (HWG) with different temperatures, pressures, pH values and solvents. The physicochemical properties of MRPs were investigated and DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and sensory properties were also assessed. MRPs from ribose and HWG evidenced the highest preference for meaty flavor and antioxidant activity and also evidenced higher antioxidant activity with larger pH reductions and higher browning index increases than were observed in other MRPs. The antioxidant activities were increased with increased reaction temperature and pressure. The most preferred meaty flavor was obtained from MRPs with ribose at 140$^{\circ}C$ in an oil bath with the pH adjusted to 9 in water as a solvent, and heated for 30 mins.

Canned and bottled orange juices currently sold in Korean market were stored for 24 weeks at 20, 30, 40 and $50^{\circ}C$ and analyzed after opening at 4 week intervals. Activation energy, $Q_{10}$ values and shelf-life at respective temperatures were calculated from the data on various quality indexes. Proposed indexes were lead, tin, iron and vitamin C contents in canned juices and vitamin C content and browning index in bottled juices and $Q_{10}$ values for these parameters were in the range of $1.3{\sim}2.0$. Shelf-life calculated for canned juices at 10, 20 and $30^{\circ}C$ were 10, 6 and 3 months and that in bottled juices, 24, 12 and 6 months, respectively. When the distribution temperature of juices in Korea is assumed to be $15^{\circ}C$ average, the optimum shelf-life was estimated to be 8 months in canned juices and 18 months in bottled juices. In order to ascertain the safety of canned orange juices, efforts are needed to re-examine the recommended distribution period, legal limit for lead and improvement of container materials.

In order to investigate the effect of two type of ceramic film(15% SiO$_2$ incorporated LDPE, 10% zeolite incorporated LDPE), perforated film and LDPE film on freshness of shiitake mushroom, weight loss, surface color and marketability of mushroom were measured during MA storage at 5 $\^{C}$ and 20$\^{C}$. The effect of packaging films on weight loss and marketability index of shiitake mushroom at 20$\^{C}$ was negligible due to its rapid physiological changes. However, the effect of packaging films on surface color of shiitake mushroom was significant at 20$\^{C}$ storage, but not at 5$\^{C}$ storage. During MA storage of shiitake mushroon, discoloration were reduced effectively by ceramic films and weight loss were by LDPE film, but they had little difference between packaging 51ms. However, there were significant differences among the packaging films in marketability of mushroom induced by water vapor inside package and accelerate its spoilage and browning. Ceramic film(15% SiO$_2$ incorporated LDPE) showed best result to maintain marketability of shiitake mushroom and zeolite incorporated film, perforated film, LDPE film in order.

To assess the quality characteristics of home-made Doenjang prepared by traditional methods, general components, organic acids, amino acids and fatty acid composition of Doenjang were investigated. The contents of moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, salt and the titratable acidity(as milliliter of 0.1 N NaOH consumed) of Doenjang were 57.3%, 11.6%, 8.3%, 13.9%, and 11.8, respectively. There were wide variation in the contents of crude protein and salt among all samples. The average content of amino type nitrogen was 308.4mg%(w/w), however, it ranged from 202.3 to 416.3 mg% in which the contents some samples were 1.3∼2.1 folds greater than others. Hunter color values of L(lightness), a(redness) and b(yellowness) were 37.3, +19.6, and +17.5, respectively. Browning index value(expressed as optical density at 425 nm) of water-soluble compound(2.23) was more than 5.7 times higher than that of water-insoluble compound(0.39). The contents of free and total amino acids were 2908.9 and 9019.3 mg%, respectively, and the range of free amino acids(1.8∼6.2 times) were much wider than the range of total amino acids(1.2∼2.0 times). Glutamic acid was most abundant in free and total amino acids as 576 and 1,126 mg%, respectively. The main organic acid was lactic acid as 326.8 mg% ranging from 59.4 to 613.4 mg%. Linoleic acid(49.24%) showed the highest content in total fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acid comprised 81.97% of total fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acid ranged from 51.79 to 62.97%.

Two types of kimchi with a different total acidity (TA, 0.75% or 1.19%) were heated at $100^{\circ}C$ for up to 60 min to develop a gratin added with heated-kimchi. Their browning index and color intensity increased with increasing heating time, which was more apparent for the kimchi with the higher TA. This was attributed to the Maillard reaction facilitated at a higher heat intensity and by the smaller fermentation products. The same tendency was also observed for the antioxidant activities determined by the total reducing capacity, metal-chelating activity, and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. In particular, heating kimchi at $100^{\circ}C$ only for 10 min increased the activities significantly. Therefore, the heated-kimchi was added to gratin at 20%. With the addition, the dietary fiber, ${\gamma}-aminobutyric$ acid (GABA) and ornithine contents in the gratin were increased appreciably (P<0.01). Nevertheless, there was little change in its salinity. The antioxidant activities of the gratin were significantly (P<0.001) higher than the control gratin without kimchi, with DPPH radical scavenging activity being 3.6 times higher. The results suggest that the functionality of kimchi could be effectually added to gratin even after heat treatment.

This study was to develop processed food with the addition of onion powder by investigating the quality characteristics of cookies with various levels (0, 1, 3, 5 and 10%) of hot-air dried yellow and red onion powder. Moisture (11.59%), crude protein (4.56%), and crude ash contents (3.83%) of yellow onion powder showed higher value than red onion powder. Hot-air dried yellow onion powder showed a higher L and b value as compared with red onion powder because of the unique color of the onion. Browning index was lower in red onion powder than red onion powder. Phenolic contents of yellow onion powder appeared to be higher than that of red onion powder. Total sugar contents were higher in red onion powder than yellow onion powder. The pH of the dough significantly decreased with increase of added onion powder contents. Dough density of control had a significantly higher value than the other samples. Hardness measurement showed significantly higher value with increasing additions of onion powder contents; added red onion powder samples were the most highest when compared to added yellow onion powder samples. Results of sensory characteristics showed significantly higher smell, taste, texture and overall acceptability with 3% added red onion sample. Quality characteristics of 5% added yellow onion powder sample and 3% added red onion powder sample indicated possibilities for developments of onion cookies.

Changes on physicochemical properties of fresh Korean ginseng during repeated 9 times steaming processes, steaming $90{\sim}95^{\circ}C$ for $1{\sim}3\;hr$ followed by hot air-drying at $50^{\circ}C$ for $36{\sim}48\;hr$, were investigated. The water contents decreased from 73.4% of fresh ginseng to 13.7% finally. The final yields in bases of total weights and dry matter were 21.0% and 79.0%, respectively. As the times of steaming processes increased, lightness (L value) decreased and redness (a value) increased in color of ginseng powder. Browning index also rapidly increased after 3 times of steaming process in particular. Total water soluble sugar contents decreased from 55.4% in fresh to 38.6% in final processed ginseng, but acidic polysaccharide contents increased by about 50% with increasing times of steaming process. Total phenolic compound contents significantly increased with repeated steaming processes especially after 5 times of steaming processes and crude saponin contents also increased in some degree. In the case of major ginsenosides, the contents of $Rb_1$, $Rb_2$, $Rg_1$, Re (representative ginsenosides in fresh ginseng) decreased, but those of $Rg_2$, $Rh_1$, $Rg_3$ (unique ginsenosides in red ginseng) increased after especially 5 times of steaming processes.

The effects of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of coffee beverage were investigated. Coffee powder (4 g) was soaked into 80 mL distilled water and extracted for 15, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, or 300 sec at $60^{\circ}C$ in an ultrasonic bath (40 kHz, 300 W). Hot-water extraction (HE) at $80^{\circ}C$ for 300 sec was used as a control. Content of soluble solids in coffee beverage prepared by UAE (60~300 sec) was same or higher than those of HE, however, no significant differences were observed among the four beverages extracted for more than 120 sec. Clarity and browning index of beverage prepared by UAE (15 sec) and by HE were significantly higher and lower, respectively, compared to those of the other. Content of phenolic compounds was lower and higher respectively, in beverage prepared by UAE (15 sec, 30 sec) and UAE (60~300 sec) than by HE. DPPH radical scavenging activity was highest in beverage prepared by UAE (15 sec) and HE. Sensory evaluation showed that color, aroma, taste, and overall acceptability were rated with the best score for beverage prepared by UAE (15 sec) and the worst score for beverage prepared UAE (120~300 sec). Therefore, ultrasound-assisted extraction can be used for improving quality of coffee beverage.

This study was performed to verify the possibility of manufacturing a germinated aromatic rice tea, which was roasted at 200, 250, and $300^{\circ}C$ each for 10, 20, and 30 min. The roasted aromatic rice was analysed physicochemical properties, sensory characteristics and aromatic compounds. The total polyphenol content and DPPH radical scavenging activities of the germinated aromatic rice increased as the roasting temperature and time increased. Total soluble solid contents, turbidity and browning index of the germinated aromatic rice tea also increased was the roasting temperature and roasting time increased. The pH did not change by roasting. The main aromatic components in roasted germinated aromatic rice tea were 2-methyl butanal, 3-methyl butanal, benzaldehyde and nonanal, which increased according to increasing temperature and time. However, those favorable aroma components were decreased at more than $300^{\circ}C$ of roasting temperature. In addition, methyl benzene, pentanol were increased which affect odor aroma. The sensory score of germinated aromatic rice tea also increased with high roasting temperature and time. However, aromatic rice roasted at a higher temperature ($300^{\circ}C$) showed lower sensory score. Therefore roasting temperature and time must be controlled for manufactureing high quality of germinated aromatic rice tea, and the optimun roasting conditions were $250^{\circ}C$ and 30 min, which provide best physicochemical characteristics of aromatic rice tea.
